Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a serious public health problem. Low levels of knowledge and non-adherence to treatment are major factors contributing to treatment failure and an increased risk of drug resistance. This study aims to analyze the effect of education on the knowledge and adherence of tuberculosis patients. A pre-experimental study design with a one-group pre-test and post-test design was used, employing total sampling of 35 patients. Data were collected using a validated TB knowledge questionnaire and the MMAS-8, and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The results showed an increase in the average knowledge score from 75 to 83, with the good category rising from 54.3% to 74.3%. Adherence increased from 6.82 (moderate) to 7.55 (high), with the high category rising from 42.9% to 57.1%. The Wilcoxon test yielded a p-value of 0.002 for knowledge and p = 0.017 for adherence (p < 0.05). It was concluded that education using Microsoft PowerPoint and leaflets had a significant effect on improving knowledge and treatment adherence among tuberculosis patients.

Abstract

The study sample comprised 64 respondents selected using total sampling. Data were collected using the Tuberculosis Self-Efficacy Scale (TBSES) and the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8). Data analysis was carried out using univariate and bivariate methods, employing Spearman’s rank correlation test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The characteristics of the respondents showed that the majority were male, comprising 35 respondents (54.7 per cent); aged 18–40 years, comprising 32 respondents (50.0 per cent); with a secondary school education, comprising 33 respondents (51.6 per cent); and having undergone treatment for 3–6 months, comprising 46 respondents (71.9 per cent). The results of the study showed that the majority of respondents had high self-efficacy (57 respondents, 89.1%), moderate self-efficacy (6 respondents, 9.4%), and low self-efficacy (1 respondent, 1.6%). Medication adherence was high in 47 respondents (73.4%), moderate in 14 respondents (21.9%), and low in 3 respondents (4.7%). The results of the bivariate analysis using Spearman’s rank test yielded a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05) and a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.661, indicating a positive relationship with a strong correlation between self-efficacy and medication adherence. The higher a patient’s self-efficacy, the higher their adherence to tuberculosis medication.

Abstract

Diabetes is a chronic disease currently experiencing the most rapid rise in prevalence and ranks among the top ten leading causes of death worldwide. The success of diabetes mellitus therapy is heavily influenced by the role of healthcare professionals; therefore, a high level of knowledge and positive perceptions are essential for delivering optimal care, education, and therapy management. This study aimed to assess the knowledge levels and perceptions of healthcare professionals regarding the success of diabetes mellitus therapy at Community Health Centers (Puskesmas) in the Pringsewu region. A mixed-methods research approach with a cross-sectional design was employed. The study sample consisted of 20 healthcare professionals including physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and nutritionists from five Community Health Centers in Pringsewu: Gadingrejo, Sukoharjo, Pringsewu, Ambarawa, and Bumiratu. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews and analyzed using quantitative univariate methods and qualitative analysis with the aid of Microsoft Excel and SPSS software. The results indicated that the majority of healthcare professionals possessed a good level of knowledge regarding diabetes mellitus therapy (50%), followed by those in the "sufficient" (45%) and "low" (5%) categories. Healthcare professionals' perceptions regarding the success of diabetes mellitus therapy were predominantly in the "excellent" category (90%), while 10% of respondents held "good" perceptions. Interview findings confirmed that healthcare professionals at the Pringsewu Community Health Centers held excellent perceptions regarding the success of diabetes mellitus therapy.
